Artifacts also highlights other major exhibitions, opening this fall, that are worthy of a celebration. Movement: The Legacy of Kineticism features works from the collection from the early 20th century to the present, some of which will be on view for the first time. This exhibition explores the idea of movement, whether real or implied, and invites viewers to engage with the works in both physical and perceptual ways.
We kicked off the summer with opening celebrations for Cartier and Islamic Art: In Search of Modernity , and it was my immense pleasure to welcome the dazzling designs of the Maison Cartier to Dallas with so many of you, our wonderful DMA Members.
I am tremendously proud of the work that has gone into these exhibitions, as they show our commitment to inclusivity and diversity in the stories we present. Our bright future would not be possible without the support of members like you.
I hope you will take full advantage of all your membership has to offer and visit us at the Museum soon. Come and discover other cultures, learn about yourself, and meet new people.
Also opening this fall, Matthew Wong: The Realm of Appearances is the first museum retrospective and US exhibition devoted to the self-taught artist, who died before his work was widely recognized. His brief but prolific career will be explored through a comprehensive look at approximately 50 of his paintings. As the only museum that collected Wong’s work during his lifetime, we are thrilled to feature this incredible artist and explore a visual language that was uniquely his own.

This installation of art from the DMA’s collection looks at the complex relationship between people and the natural world. Through groupings of works that span centuries and global cultures, Rooted shows how people shape and adapt to a changing environment, traverse the planet, and rely on the land for sustenance. The exhibition features more than 50 works, including paintings, sculpture, photographs, decorative arts, prints, and clothing, as well as interactive opportunities for visitors to create and respond. Rooted was developed by the DMA’s Education and Interpretation staff with input from community members, artists, and local organizations.

Guadalupe Rosales: Drifting on a Memory
Guadalupe Rosales works to document Latinx experiences in the United States, and especially in her native Los Angeles, through her ever-growing repository of communally sourced archival materials, including photographs, memorabilia, and artifacts. She develops installations combining photography, ephemera, and sound that intersect with her archival practice. For Drifting on a Memory, Rosales collaborated with Dallas-based lowrider artist Lokey Calderon to create an immersive work that nods to lowrider culture and uses sound to replicate the aural experience of cruising in East LA.

Islamic art was a formative inspiration for Louis Cartier and the Maison Cartier in the early 20th century. Cartier’s designers adapted shapes, techniques, and materials from India, the Middle East, and North Africa, synthesizing and transforming them into a unique, modern stylistic language that continues to inspire new creations.

EXHIBITION SPOTLIGHT
The Dallas Museum of Art is proud to present the first-ever museum retrospective for Octavio Medellín (1907–1999), an influential Mexican American artist and teacher whose work helped shape the Texas art scene for seven decades. Medellín was a noted sculptor who mastered a wide range of media, engaging with modernist trends in both his native Mexico and the United States. Beyond his artistic accomplishments, Medellín was a respected art teacher at various institutions in the Dallas area, as well as the founder of the Creative Arts Center of Dallas.
Octavio Medellín: Spirit and Form features approximately 80 works, charting the evolution of Medellín’s artistic practice as he moved across various mediums, producing sculptures in wood, stone, clay, metal, and glass. A section of the show also explores Medellín’s creation of public art across Texas, but particularly in the Dallas area.
If you’d like to see some of these works yourself, you can grab a brochure at the Museum or visit medellin.dma.org for information on Medellín works across the Metroplex.

Cartier and Islamic Art is an exhibition about sources of inspiration and the evolution of designs that span centuries and continents. Paris at the dawn of the 20th century was a catalyst for creativity, especially for Louis Cartier (1875–1942) and the Maison he pivoted toward modernity.
As European powers expanded into the Middle East, India, and North Africa, Paris became the center of trade in Islamic art and architectural elements. This exhibition explores the formative influences of Islamic art on Louis Cartier as a collector and, more significantly, on Maison Cartier’s production of jewelry and precious objects from the early 20th century until today. Its narrative is enhanced by the elegant, minimalist galleries and digital media designed by Elizabeth Diller and her architectural firm Diller Scofidio + Renfro (NYC). Among the over 500 objects in the exhibition are drawings and photographs from Cartier Archives, and also many incredibly beautiful one-of-a-kind pieces of jewelry.

Bib Necklace, 1947 Gold, platinum, diamonds, amethysts, Architecturalturquoiseelements, such as the mosaic tiles on ancient mosques, were also a source of design ideas for Cartier. From the 1910s onward, Iranian materials and colors inspired Cartier’s creations, particularly in the use of an unexpected mix of colors. Cartier created many bib necklaces in an array of designs that explore a range of color combinations. This bib necklace, made in 1947 for the Duchess of Windsor, is an excellent example that couples innovative techniques with exciting new color combinations. It is an excellent example of the multicolored jewelry designs made between 1933 and 1970, when Jean Toussaint served as Cartier’s Creative Director. Here, a brilliant combination of highly prized Iranian turquoise and amethyst comes together to form a marvelous piece. Surprisingly, the necklace is quite flexible, making it extremely comfortable for the wearer. In the exhibition, this necklace is displayed with a detailed animation showing its assembly based upon architectural foundations.

Today, Islamic art still inspires Cartier’s designers, and the Maison continues to explore innovative design arcs—an endless rotation of evolution and revolution— in their creations. Like the exhibitions of the early 20th century, Cartier and Islamic Art aspires to inspire.
Necklace, about 2000 (as seen on page 2) Gold, diamonds
This contemporarydazzling necklace exemplifies the cyclical nature of the way inspiration and creativity continue to this day to flow at Cartier; sometimes ideas evolve and other times there are transcendent shifts. In this new millennium, aesthetic elements of ancient Islamic art continue to fuel new ideas and design possibilities at Cartier. In pursuit of modern innovation and contemporary trends, they turned to their own archives and original source materials to mine artistic elements from the past to create bold and modern designs. This brilliantly striking diamond and gold necklace, which is a complex web of interlocking hexagons, exemplifies how Cartier’s contemporary design motifs remain based firmly on geometry. The amazing necklace is one of the few pieces in the exhibition to reference how it is intended to be worn. While the necklace is displayed flat, Liz Diller’s design team at DS+R created an original animated three-dimensional case that expands to also demonstrate how it would appear when worn on the body.

Tiara, 1937 (as seen on the cover) Gold, platinum, diamonds, Onecitrinesof the principal themes of the exhibition is how a lexicon of forms and motifs found in Islamic art inspired Cartier’s designs. These sources included ancient Islamic manuscripts, textiles, and, most significantly, the geometric architectural elements found in monumental buildings throughout the Middle East, India, and North Africa. Jewelry, such as this lovely tiara, was adorned with colored precious stones such as diamonds and citrines cut into faceted hexagons, squares, and rectangles, and then arranged in a grid-like pattern akin to the decorative brick and tilework found in medieval Persian buildings. Tiaras were an immensely popular accessory in the 1930s. The central medallion of this tiara is detachable, allowing the owner to wear it separately as a brooch, pointing downward. In 1937 alone, Cartier London produced at least 27 tiaras, most of which were probably worn at the coronation of England’s King George VI.

Movement: The Legacy of Kineticism September 18, 2022 to July 16, 2023
Movement: The Legacy of Kineticism showcases the work of artists from three historical eras who explored the power of kineticism in art. Their works utilize optical effects or mechanical or manipulable parts to engage the viewer physically or perceptually. This exhibition, drawn from the DMA’s collection, demonstrates how artists working today have been influenced by the long legacy of dynamic abstraction, from the utopian works of art and design by avant-garde artists in Russia, Europe, and the Americas, to the European “Op” artists and Brazilian Neoconcretists working in the 1960s to create work that engulfs visitors in their surroundings and empowers them to participate in its co-creation.

Featuring a dazzling array of historic Flemish masterworks from the 15th to the 17th century, Saints, Sinners, Lovers, and Fools highlights the innovative ways that medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque artists depicted their rapidly changing world through style and storytelling. Crossing three centuries, this artistic journey includes sculptures and decorative art objects, along with paintings by Hans Memling, Jan Gossaert, Peter Paul Rubens, Anthony van Dyck, Jacob Jordaens, and Jans Massys, among others. The exhibition will introduce visitors to the rich history of Flemish art and invite them to consider their own place within a world in flux.
Saints, Sinners, Lovers, and Fools: 300 Years of Flemish Masterworks is co-organized by the Denver Art Museum and The Phoebus Foundation, Antwerp (Belgium).

Hailed as one of the most talented painters of his generation, Matthew Wong achieved resounding critical acclaim for his spectacular landscape paintings during his short career, spanning just over six years, between 2013 until his death at the age of 35 in 2019. The Dallas Museum of Art, the only museum that collected Wong’s work during his lifetime, presents the first US museum exhibition of works by this visionary painter. Featuring approximately 50 paintings, the exhibition offers the first formal account of how Wong adeptly synthesized many modern inspirations—from the Fauvists to Qing period ink painters—to create a visual language uniquely his own.

Devastator Brooch depicts the global consequences of the COVID-19 virus. Contrary to the work’s name, Fuchi has a more optimistic outlook about the pandemic. Here, he endeavors to express the numerous times humans have faced and overcome crises. He once stated, “Every time we overcome the crisis and continued to prosper. Isn’t it a proof that we human beings can always overcome such obstacles?”

This is the DMA’s first painting by Leonora Carrington, a pivotal Surrealist artist who settled in Mexico City at the outbreak of World War II. In the 1950s, Carrington began to explore themes of magic and mysticism in her paintings. In Under the Compass Rose, the artist shows three figures—two of whom were acquaintances of hers—gathered around an alchemical furnace, reimagined by the artist as a living creature.

Erykah Badu Vessel exemplifies Lugo’s ceramic works inspired by a fusion of politics, hip-hop, and graffiti art. The work bears a portrait of Dallas singersongwriter Erykah Badu on one side, and on the other a hiphop skeleton wearing a snapback baseball cap and a ring with the word “hustle”; both images reference hip-hop and Black culture. Lugo is known for ceramic works intended to spark conversations within

Quarles is at the forefront of artists today who undertake an ambiguous approach to figuration and conception of space as a way to explore the radical potential of the present moment. Her works are simultaneously beautiful and jarring, as her semi-abstract figures meld into one another and in and out of the back- and foreground. This points, in part, to the power of the “in between” to celebrate the fluidity of identity and experience.

For three decades, Kim has combined longstanding elements and materials of East Asian ink painting with the compositional language of modern gestural and geometric abstraction. In Sculpture, she carefully arranges uniform paper patterns made of Korean hanji, or mulberry paper, to explore the transitory space between two-dimensional painting and volume-filling sculpture. Sculpture is an exciting addition to the DMA’s unique strength in Korean postwar Tansaekhwa monochrome painting and offers new perspectives in this male-dominated art movement.

This painting of a woman with a parrot reflects a popular trope in 19th-century Orientalist art. Playing upon Western stereotypes and erotic fantasy, it features a naked concubine idling within the confines of a harem. At first glance, there doesn’t appear to be much of a narrative. Our focus is directed to the appreciation of the figure’s sensuous curves and the artist’s skillful handling of light as it falls across feathers, skin, and fabric; nevertheless, the pairing of woman and bird has built-in meaning—both are presented as “exotic” objects treasured for their beauty and kept as prisoners in their respective cages.

A Bravo Figure , about 1605. Bartolomeo Manfredi. Oil on canvas. Dallas Museum of Art, Marguerite and Robert Hoffman Fund and gift of James Sight, 2022.26.
It is very exciting to add this rare painting by Bartolomeo Manfredi, one of Caravaggio’s closest followers, to the DMA’s historic European collection. In this portrayal of a mercenary soldier, Manfredi deploys realism, dramatic lighting, and a shallow, stage-like setting to give the figure a startlingly lifelike presence. The bravo turns to address us, one hand clutching a paper scroll and the other resting on the pommel of his sword. Will this encounter end well?

Abstraction was created in early 1917 in Bermuda, where Hartley had geographically and emotionally distanced himself from the critical pressures of New York following the negative reception of his expressionistic paintings created in Germany during 1914–1915. Bermuda marked a transitional period for Hartley in which he explored geometric abstraction—specifically Synthetic Cubism—in a series of works based on nautical themes. Here, he depicts the Elsa, a Danish ship that was in harbor for repairs. Abstraction beautifully addresses a need in the Museum’s collection for works documenting the influence of European avant-garde movements on American artists during the 1910s.

This cotton kente cloth is composed of 24 strips that were sewn together to make a man’s toga-like garment. The cloth was woven by an unknown male master among the Ewe peoples in Ghana. A versatile weaver, he has mastered the complex geometric designs on kentes made by his rivals, the Asante royal weavers. He altered the Asante designs by incorporating figurative motifs (in this case human hands), a hallmark of Ewe weaving.

Mr. Lamont and his wife, Mary Noël Lamont, were dedicated supporters of many of the Museum’s initiatives. Married since 1974, Mr. and Mrs. Lamont joined the Museum as members in 1988 and supported major programs and exhibitions, including Art Ball and Silver Supper, the Ellsworth Kelly in Dallas exhibition catalogue, and the presentation of Mexico 1900–1950: Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo, José Clemente Orozco, and the Avant-Garde , as well as the construction of the Inge-Lise Eckmann Lane Paintings Conservation Center. In 2005 one of the Museum’s quadrant galleries was named the Mary Noël and Bill Lamont Gallery in recognition of the couple’s philanthropy. Mrs. Lamont has also served as a DMA trustee and as a member of the Collections Committee, and, along with her family, endowed the Lupe Murchison Curator of Contemporary Art position in 1995.
“Bill was a special friend and a superb leader to all of us at the DMA,” said Dr. Agustín Arteaga, the DMA’s Eugene McDermott Director. “He was known for his wide-ranging interests in all facets of the Museum’s operations, and he was always eager to learn more and provide insight and guidance where he could. His influence on me was tremendous. Most recently, Bill played a significant and immeasurable role in guiding us through difficult times and charting our course for the future as a truly 21st-century museum. I am thankful I had the opportunity to know and learn from Bill, and I offer my condolences to his wife, Mary Noël, and to his sons, Max and Miles, and their families. We will miss his keen insights, brilliant mind, kind and steady influence, and sly humor. His loss will be felt deeply.”
The Dallas Museum of Art greatly mourns the passing of William “Bill” M. Lamont, Jr., Chairman of the DMA’s Board of Trustees and a longtime friend and supporter of the Museum. A beloved friend and inspiring leader, Mr. Lamont was known for his steady leadership, wise counsel, and love for the institution, along with his quick wit and charm. His deep and personal commitment to the work and mission of the DMA has shaped the Museum into the strong institution it is today.

“Bill loved our museum as he loved our city. The future of the Dallas Museum of Art is brighter because of his strong, steady leadership and his magnificent dedication as our Chairman and longtime trustee,” said Catherine Marcus Rose, former President of the DMA’s Board of Trustees. “He was my partner and our friend. The Board of Trustees and Museum leadership are deeply grateful for his innumerable contributions in service and his steadfast and enthusiastic support of our mission."
Statement on the Death of William M. Lamont, Jr., Board Chairman and Longtime Friend and Supporter of the Dallas Museum of Art WILLIAMMEMORIAMM. LAMONT, JR.
Mr. Lamont’s contributions to the Museum of time, expertise, and support over the years were many. He had served on the Board of Trustees since 2013 and was elected Chairman in 2018. Since 2004, when he first joined the Board’s Budget and Finance Committee, the Museum greatly benefited from his extraordinary expertise and dedication. Most recently, Mr. Lamont’s sure direction during the Museum’s closure due to the COVID-19 pandemic and related financial challenges ensured the institution’s stability and survival through this challenging period. He will also be fondly remembered for his good cheer, kindness, and friendship. He never hesitated to express his encouragement and appreciation of the DMA’s accomplishments and successes.
